Top Nail Trends Taking Over Dubai Right Now

From Chrome Queens to Minimalist Chic — These Are the Must-Try Looks of the Season

Dubai doesn’t just follow trends — it sets them. With its luxe lifestyle, style-forward influencers, and beauty-obsessed clientele, the nail scene here is as bold, diverse, and high-glam as the city itself.

Whether you’re brunching in DIFC, hitting the beach in JBR, or jetting off to Europe for summer, here are the top nail trends dominating Dubai right now — and how to get them at Nail Moda.

1. Chrome Everything

Metallic is having its moment — and in Dubai, chrome nails are queen. From full-on silver mirror to subtle glazed donut effects, chrome is the easiest way to turn heads.

Trending Looks:

• Silver mirror on almond-shaped tips

• Rose gold chrome French

• Hailey Bieber-inspired “glazed” nails

At Nail Moda, our technicians layer chrome powder over gel for a flawless, long-lasting shine.

2. Minimalist French

The classic French has gone from timeless to trendy. But this season’s version? Minimal, modern, and ultra-chic.

Trending Looks:

• Skinny white tips on a milky base

• Micro French in neon or pastel shades

• Double French (fine line + color layer)

Perfect for working professionals, brides, or minimalists with a twist.

3. Bold Brights for the Summer Heat

Dubai loves a bold statement — and nothing says confidence like vibrant summer nails.

Trending Looks:

• Butter yellow (this year’s hottest unexpected hit)

• Electric blue, magenta, and tangerine

• Neon French or color-blocked accents

Book our “Cool Girl Summer” package for seasonal brights that last through every pool party and city escape.

4. Milky, Sheer & Clean Girl Nails

Clean girl aesthetic? Still going strong. Think “your nails but better” — ultra-sheer, soft, healthy, and natural-looking.

Trending Looks:

• Milky white overlays

• Pinky-beige BIAB nails

• Glossy topcoat with minimal design

Ask for our nourishing BIAB overlay for that strong, clean-glow finish.

5. Nail Art That Tells a Story

In a city this creative, your nails are your canvas. Clients in Dubai are loving:

• Arabic calligraphy art

• Evil eye designs

• Gold foil accents

• Henna-inspired patterns on nails

Our in-house nail artists can customise designs that reflect your style, story, or culture.

6. Halal & Wudhu-Friendly Nails

With a strong local and expat Muslim population, halal nails are more than a trend — they’re a lifestyle. Breathable, water-permeable polish is in high demand, especially during Ramadan, Eid, and Friday prep.

Nail Moda offers a full halal manicure and polish menu — wudhu-friendly, stylish, and salon-perfect.

Bonus Trend: Nail Shapes That Slay

Shape is everything. These are the most requested at Nail Moda right now:

• Almond (elegant & elongating)

• Soft square (chic & clean)

• Coffin with chrome (for max glam)

• Squoval BIAB (strong + natural)
